opinon of a 1997 Suzuki fuel injected 140hp ????

[Sea Otter]

Hey all of you boat gurus....I need some advise.

I'm looking to buy a 19' Arima (1997) with a 1997 Suzuki 2stroke fuel injection 140hp...any opinions on this motor?????
Naturally, I'd rather have a 4stroke Honda....however, I can't be too choosy buying a used boat.
The price seems fair....but not a steal (however, it is exactly the type of boat I'm looking for.

Let's hear those opinions.

Thanks,
Tim

Give a call to my good buddy "Doug" at Performance Marine in Everett.

Oh well, I guess I don't need to know any longer.

I went and checked the boat out at Port Orchard I was thinking about buying..
It had a ton of caulking everywhere and several stress cracks in the gelcoat. It looks like the boat had been pounded pretty heavy in rough water.

I had heard the Arima was a well built boat....this one didn't look like it.
